As Alessandra and Clyde part ways, she is now left under the care of the Duhsh Elves while he continues on the path of vengeance. The story of what happened in the seven year absence until their next fated meeting remained unknown, until now.
[Duhsh Forest Interior, Hedgerow Creek, a narrow sheltered waterway in pristine condition, the water is uncontaminated by external sources. Enter Alessandra Zalori as she walks with Alenia Famaris carrying a basket of mushrooms as they make their way back to the village]
Alenia Famaris: I think you might have picked every last mushroom in the forest dear. There will be enough for all of us but what about the little animals?
[Alessandra Zalori halts in her tracks, she stares down into the basket overflowing with mushrooms and begins to tear up, she had felt a sense of guilt, what would the animals do without the mushrooms to snack on. Tears begin to run down her face before Alenia Famaris kneels beside her and comforts her with a hug ]
Do not cry dear, the animals will always find a way in the Duhsh, they are your friends, so it is important to share the forest's resources with all of them, equally.
[Alessandra Zalori wipes her tear soaked face calming down as she hears the word 'friends' ]
Alessandra Zalori: I want to play with my friends! can I see them after supper?
Alenia Famaris: You know I want you to do nothing more darling but I am still fearful that those who seek to harm you are more persistent than meet's the eye. Tomorrow, their mothers will be putting them to bed too.
[Alessandra Zalori drops the mushroom basket onto the floor in protest to Alenia Famaris' decision]
Alessandra Zalori: No!!! I want to play!
Alenia Famaris: Alessa!!! Pick those up right now!!!
[Alessandra Zalori folds her arms and shakes her head adamantly as Alenia Famaris sighs]
If you be a good girl I will come and play with you tomorrow as well.
[Alessandra Zalori hesitates for a moment before picking up the basket quickly and runs to Alenia Famaris and takes her hand]
Alessandra Zalori:[Looking up to Alenia Famaris] Do you promise?
Alenia Famaris: It has been a while since we have visited Lnilth, hasn't it?
Alessandra Zalori: You're right, I hope he's okay.
Alenia Famaris: Listen to the forest, what does it tell you?
[Alessandra Zalori closes her eyes, concentrating hard but doesn't quite understand what she is supposed to be listening for]
Alessandra Zalori: I can't hear anything but my own thoughts. I don't know.
Alenia Famaris: Then listen to your heart. It will never betray you.
Alessandra Zalori: He is... he is safe. [smiles]
